Shouldn't be going more then 75 on the motorway anyway.... unless it's a track car, I've seen some good years with max speed rating of 168!

wrong section.. YOU decide wither it's Tuning, or Model specific

the quality of the rubber compounds and construction is more important than the speed rating IMHO.

esp. with a heavy diesel engine up front.

Did you happen to get them for £97 plus delivery ?

So you've got a "chipped" car and then put cheap rubber on it?
Sorry, but I've lost the logic of that.
Decent tyres can be bought for less than the power mod.

Isn't Y the highest rating on road tyres? Speed rating 186mph.

Can I ask what brand these tyres are?

yep it is highest they are Uniroyal rainsport 3 I had a motorbike and had the tyres from the next rateing and never had any problems with ridability


they must be better than the cheap winrun tyres that are on cheap nasty no grip

If there're Uniroyals I take back my comment about fitting cheap rubber.
